Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8705458A1] In accordance with a method of operating a radio transmission or communication system including a number of central stations and a plurality of individual remote stations, the central stations generate and transmit control signals which are received by the individual remote stations. Each remote station is assigned to a specific central station. Each control signal (A) is a signal which includes a first part (B) constituting a first period of time of the control signal and including information identifying one or more intended receiving stations, and a second part (C) constituting a second period of time of the control signal and including control information for the intended receiving station or stations. In accordance with the present invention, each individual remote station is shiftable between a first operational mode in which it receives the control signal from the central station to which it is assigned, and an alternative, second operational mode in which it is not receiving the control signal from the central station to which it is assigned. For a period of time substantially corresponding to the first period of time, each remote station is operated in the first operational mode in order to have it evaluate whether it is identical to the identical receiving station or stations. For a period of time substantially corresponding to the second period of time each remote station which is not identical to the intended receiving station or stations is operated in the second operational mode for receiving a control signal from an alternative central station different from the central station to which it is assigned, or, alternatively, each remote station which is identical to the intended receiving station or stations is operated in the first operational mode for receiving the second part of the control signal.
